Warren Buffett has never commented on AI, but his Google bet says a lot

Asked whether Warren Buffett has ever weighed in on AI, felpix notes Buffett never directly has — but his last major purchase was Google, likely betting on recurring ad revenue and that courts wouldn't force a Chrome divestiture. Berkshire also did a private placement/loan financing for Google aimed at data center financing, and its insurance and energy businesses have benefited from the data center buildout.
